Forgive me if you've seen my pitch for Corporation Appreciation Week. I'm just trying to drum up enthusiasm for a polluter/safety violator/tax evader/corruption festival of sorts!!!

My lovingly crafted sales pitch:
Please consider participating and blogwhoring for Corporation Appreciation Week next week, details


Please spread the word, the idea is to highlight some of the more horrific polluters, etc. and hopefully after some discussion, maybe talk about some ways to take small step actions. (optimistic? Perhaps) I am going to spend next week posting all around on this theme, and we'll see if we can get a few folks from our 'community' to pitch in. Let me know if I can count you in, as I want to put links up of blogs willing to participate at Lose The Noose and at Consider The Boot...thanks!

These damn companies SOOOOO piss me off.

thanks Rose ... for keeping after them on this insanity ... aside from the security implications, this seems to be another step toward fucking over the American worker ... wonder if the labor practices of UAE are gonna be imported ... that's the country in which kids have been enslaved as camel jockeys for the entertainment of the rich and powerful ...

Well, they're not gonna ask Snow to give his kickback back, are they? Geez, he should be able to keep the money anyway...

mr the tubthumper-sure you can particpate. these are INTERNATIONAL companies. they may be based in the us but they effect us all
